How do you insert video from other sites (like youtube) into MS powerpoint 2008?

Question

I do not want just the link. I want an actual video to work within the presentation.

Answer 1

Hi,

There's a little magical free piece of software called Tooble. It was one of the favorites at MacWorld.

Install it. Then paste the URL of a YouTube video into Tooble. It will download the video, convert it to a movie format that PowerPoint understands. It puts the movies into your Movies folder. Optionally, it will put the movies into your iTunes Library, too.

Then in PowerPoint you can use Insert > Movie > from file.

2. Embed YouTube video into PowerPoint

Tips:

Always put the movie in the same folder as your PowerPoint presentation. If you later move the PowerPoint presentation to another computer, copy the movie too. Keeping your movie in the same folder as your presentation ensures the link will still work. However, you should always test the movie on a new machine just to be certain. Re-insert the movie, if necessary.
